They rebuilt, re-valved and re-sprung the shock. Then they fitted the shock and linkages, trying to keep the ride height about the same 'cause I only have little legs.
At the front they popped the forks out, polished the shiny bits, rebuilt them with new springs to suit and put it back together with four rings showing, as I'd asked.
Total price, parts, labour and vat was £506ish.
I've only ridden it the fifteen miles home but the difference is like night and day.
Before it used to crash about over bumps, be a pig to turn in, run wide coming out of bends and even looking at the brakes would make the bugger sit up.
Now it just goes where I point it and stays there, no fuss or drama. Hitting a bump doesn't have my arse out of the saddle and the brakes feel stronger because the front end is more composed.
They're nice folk, do good work and I think the price was reasonable for what they did, especially considering the results.
Now I just need some good weather.
